It's called molting
A garter snake periodically sheds its entire skin in a process called ecdysis. This shedding allows the snake to grow, removes parasites, and helps to repair damaged skin.
The whole process from start to finish - should take about a week.
The shedding of the exoskeleton in insects is called molting or ecdysis. This process allows the insect to grow larger and is essential for development and survival. During molting, the old exoskeleton is shed and a new, larger one is formed underneath.
No snake skin purses are not made from the shedding of a snake simply because it is to weak snake skin purses are made from the actual skin of the snake wether they kill the snake to get the skin or if they just go out and find a dead snake and take the skin off but anyways snake skin purses are make from the skin
When a lizard sheds its skin, it is a natural process of regeneration and growth. The shedding allows the lizard to remove old, damaged skin and reveal new skin underneath. This process also helps lizards rid themselves of parasites or debris that may be clinging to their old skin.
No it's called shedding
We tend to just call it a shed skin. The technical term for the process of shedding is Ecdysis - or moulting - or sloughing.

When the shedding process begins, the skin will begin to look slightly opaque and some snakes will get pink bellies when beginning the shedding process. Then, the snake will steadily become more and more opaque until the eyes completely clouded over. After a few days, before they shed their eyes will clear back up. Soon after that, they will shed off their old skin. The whole process can take 1-2 weeks, and sometimes longer.
The snake was shedding a layer of its skin.
Yes, a snake can die from not shedding its skin properly. If a snake is unable to shed its skin, it can lead to health issues such as infections or restricted movement, which can ultimately result in death. Regular shedding is important for a snake's overall health and well-being.

The common name is shedding, or sloughing. The technical term is ecdysis. Basically, when a snake 'outgrows' its skin, it secretes a fluid (mainly composed of vitamin A) between the current layer, and a new layer of skin underneath. This is what turns the snakes eyes a milky blue-white. After a few days, the snake breaks the skin (usually at the mouth) and crawls out of it - turning the skin inside-out in the process.

yes, its a form of physiological regeneration.
Leopard gecko feet turn black due to a natural process called shedding, where old skin is replaced with new skin. The black coloration is a result of the shedding process and is temporary.
